1 A MESSAGE FOR WORLD-WIDE COMMUNION SUNDAY, OCT. 1, 1950 Today is world-wide communicn Sunday* We celebrate the sac rament of our Lord's death along with, thousands of fellow Christians around the world* Unitedly: we remember our Lord's death through the symbolism of the breaking of bread and drinking of wine* The sacrament of the Lord's Supper has three great values or purposes* It reminds us of our Lord and His death on the cross for our sins* It turns our thoughts inward to examine our own lives to see whether there be any wicked way in ub, and to confess that sin and get ourselves straight with God again through the cleansing power of Jesus Christ. It brings us, in the third place, to a full sense of the fact that those of us who confess Christ are a communion of believers, a great company gathered at the Lord's talba in the most wonderful fellowship the world can ever know*- While we cannot overlook the first two valueb of the Lord's supper* I wish today to turn our thoughts especially to this third one* for this is world-wide communion Sunday. Our people are aore world-minded today than ever before* We support a great world organization the United Nations* We are in formed and interested in the welfare and progress and peace of nations across the seas and hitherto little know*)to us. And as a church we are engaged in fulfilling our Lord's command to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all people. We extend aims of Christian fellowship and lore to those in mission lands who have heard the Gospel* Though these multitudes are unseen, we sit down with them today at the table of our Lord in the most intimate fashion, lot ma ej^kspcik briefly on four communion services I have recently attended. They ^^ have special interest to us on this world-vjida communion Sunday. c^p\2?hey reflej^htesbabsof CmaBmaatfieBtaexpflgJteB,ctas,.as. a ^$giv$ai^e wmee«he muaioal name was reoently the scene of the birth of a hew church. The pastor of a nearby town church asked me last November to visit this village, one of two near his city in which members of his church had been visiting in the name of Christ, gathering ohildren into outpost Sunday Schools, and laying the ground work for the establishment of a new church. The new principikl of the grammar school of the village was a Christian elder, and it was to his home that we paid the first visit, and in a school room he provided that we held our first meeting. Several hundred villagers gathered, and listened patiently while I preached, during a second sermon by the nearby church pastor, and to a full service put on by the "young adults" of the nearby church. (The elder complimented the solo of a young deacon because he "sang like a goose.") I remembered particularly the keen attention of a dig nified bearded old Chinese scholar who sat in the amen corner as though he had been to church all his life. As a matter of fact, it w a s h i s fi r s t v i s i t. ' *w T?ls Tllla«9 became a part of our program of pioneer evangellsm--the starting of new churches in un-churched territory. A man was secured to carry on the work. He had lived for years in North Korea, but had fled.the communist oppression there a year or two ago Though destitute he could bring nothing with him fyom North Korea--he worked patiently with the people of the village *«,. tv,«,.«eight bags of rice, to be paid on tb«?«it»ir f\? the price of which could be remodeled into V«w«?! al^9nt plan» a Gliding A winter crop orgeat was ready Sr htrveat^sf011 a"? mnb waa" «"*.

3 "catechumen" ch. ss (a period of six months prooa^ioi ana learning oezore receiving baptism) and one or two for baptism. Among those who were so examined was the dignified old gentleman who was present the first night* He had found in the Bible truths he had never found in a life time of searching the Confucian classics. And then we held our first communion service. There were stares and whispered questions among the curious who witnessed this for the first time. We had to instruct the new believers very carefully, for they had never seen a communion service* But there was joy in their faces and joy in the presence of the angels of God as these lost were found, and as the church was estab lished in Pang-a-ta-11. II. A Communion among Social Outcasts. Early in Hay, I con ducted the most""imprassive cosmunim service of my life. It was out doors under a warm sun. I was both organist and preacher. My coig ro gation of about 300 Bat on the ground on straw mats. I could not shake hands with them, or touch them, or even share the communion elements of which they partook. For they were all lepers, victims of perhaps thekost terrible disease in all the world. Cast out of society, they had: banded themselves into a village of their own. My first ocztaot with them was just before last Christmas, when, upon invitation of a Presbyterian elder (a leper) who had been preaching among these pegle for some monthb, I was asked to hold examinations of new converts. At that time, they lived in tents and miserable six-foot square huts built of sticks and stones. We had met outdoors in the biting December wind. This spring we met under slightly better physical circumstances. The local Presbytery had asked me to take over the supervision of the new church there, and I was performing my duties in this capacity. All day Saturday, from early morning to nightfall, two Korean pastors and I had examined those who wished to be baptised or to Join, the catechumen class* In all we examined almost a hundred lepers. Never have I seen a group bo well prepared in their answers. They had a reason for the faith that was in them, and were not ashamed to say so, or too ignorant to answer.. They.had memorized many passages of Scripture. Some of the most pitiful cases were especially earnest in their testi mony to their conviction that soon they would go to b with their Lord, and that in place of their present painful and filthy bodies they would be clothed with resurrected bodies like that of the Lord they professed. And then on Sunday morning we held this service. It lasted nearly two hours and I was exhausted, but the congregation was not restless. What is time to a Korean? and what does time mean to those who have to spend their days apart from society while they suffer terrible physical pain? Their ow choir sang. They gave of their mites an offering to the Lord, while singing the offeratory hymn used all over Korea, "I Surrender All." I baptized 46 of the lepers. Surely not many of us preachers ever have such an opportunity. And then we all partook of the communion. It took a long time. Many lepers were so diseased that the elder had to place the bread in their mouths and hold the cup to their lips. Beaause of the danger of the disease I could only pray with them, andnot actually take part* But again there was the joy in our hearts as we saw some 78 new Christians, the neucleus of a new ohurch, joining with Christians the world over in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. III. A Communion at the entrance of the valley of the shadow oj death. A third communion service in which I recently was privileged to take part was on Sunday afternoon of June 25th. Our Korea Mission was gathered for Its annual meeting. We met in the brand-new Nurses School Building in Chun-ju. Fifty or more missionaries and their children heard one of our newest missionaries bring a fine lesson to our hearts f»b the book of Acts. Then there was the reception into the full fel-

5 lowehfe of the churoh xx of two boys whose father, grandfather, and gre:-t-grandfather have been missionaries* Then we all joined in the Communion renewing our relationship with our Lord and with our fellow Christians* The moment of silence following the benediction was rent when one Of our number (Dr. Paul Crane) rose and announced: "The local American Military Advisor has just told me that North Korean troops invaded South Korea early this morning* They are expeoted to have a quick victory. You must provide for your own security ax and listen.. to the radio for instructions about evacuating.11 and to xkxk walk out of homes, leaving furniture and possessions for robbers and vandals* ' n Tuesday morning as the main body of the Mission climbed into oars and jeeps and trucks for the long t\e day trip over rocky roads, and high mountain passes, through country infested with Communist guerillas, to Pusan and all the uncertainties that lay ahead, not a few were glad that our last moment together as a Mission group had been for the communion of the. Lord's Supper* And not a few of them, who, in various places, will this day be partaking of the Lord*s Supper, will think with gratitude of that moment spent together on June 25th. IV* A Communion on thejava of Battle. Just one Sunday later found most of the Korea Mission ovf the Southern Presbyterian Church in an army camp in Japan* The hopelessness oi the war, as North Koreans rolled past Seoul, had been changed by the sudden action of the United Nations* On Sunday morning as we walked to the post chapel for church, we passed G^l.s manning artillery batteries hastily placed around the camp. Loaded trucks and Jeep rumbled by. Overhead passed a stream of great transports and bombers and roaring jet fighters headed for the Korean battle front* The soldiers were feverishly preparing to take off for Korea, attendance at the ohapel was understandably small, and two of the men present vere called out during the service* The chaplain was not a Presbyterian and his form of serving the communion found some Presbyterian missionaries with stiff knees, but again we had the privilege of taking part in this sacred service, along with seme of our fighting men, who knew they would soon be in the bitter desperate battle* Today in that army post, and in other army posts, and on the battlefields of Korea, our men are gathering to worship their God and many will no doubt share in this world-wide com* amnion service* It is great to be a part of a nab ion whose fighting men have th3 privilege of worshipping even while engaged in brutal war, and many of whose leaders recognize that not the carnal might of men but the arm of Almighty God turns the tide of battle* God give ub the sense of a worl-dide fellowship with all who believe that God so loved the world that he sent his only beggtten Son into the world that whosoever belleveth in him should not perish but have everlasting life* We are one this day with thousands of new Christians in new ohurches, with the poor and outcast and diseased, \& th the mission aries who fight under the banner of the cross, with the soldiers who fight under the banner of the United Nationsp as well as with those, sit ting in the pews about us0 May we again reconsecrate ourselves to our Master whose death and resurrection inauguerated the fellowship to which we bslomr. and whose BrHrlt t«riav'<o movincr in t.h*> waki»i..« -»- "
